Please plan to attend one of the Kansas Dept. of Transportation (KDOT) Local Consult Meetings scheduled in September and October. This is an opportunity for Rail Passengers members to request, provide input and prioritize potential expansion and modernization projects. It also provides the opportunity to strengthen local partnerships and demonstrate which KDOT programs matter most to our communities and the state.
These meetings provide the best opportunity for Rail Passengers members to show support for the HEARTLAND FLYER EXTENSION project. The Northern Flyer Alliance has promoted this development through legislation, grants, consultation, and lobbying. Please help and contribute to this effort by registering to attend. For more information go to the KDOT Consult website HERE, or, contact Mark Corriston, Kansas Council Member at [email protected], or even give Mark a call at 913-406-0827.

"The National Association of Railroad Passengers has done yeoman work over the years and in fact if it weren’t for NARP, I'd be surprised if Amtrak were still in possession of as a large a network as they have. So they've done good work, they're very good on the factual case."
